Summary of Request:
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) administers The Carl Moyer Program. The Program creates incentives in the form of grants for private companies or public agencies that operate heavy-duty diesel engines in California. These grants are used to cover an incremental portion of the cost of purchasing new, replacing existing, or retrofitting existing diesel engines or equipment with cleaner -burning engines or equipment. Unspent funds from each District are reallocated to the state Carl Moyer Rural Assistance Program Fund (RAP). Projects from each District are chosen by the Rural Assistance Program and submitted to Districts for implementation. The State requires Board authorization to accept the funds, approval of the projects associated with the funds, authorization for the District to enter into a contractual agreement with the applicants and authorization to reimburse the applicants upon completion of the project. The state currently has $49,155.68 in unspent funds available which the District has agreed to apply toward the project to be completed prior to June 30, 2027. The District will also receive $6,145.32 in administrative funds associated with the projects.
